Tragic School Shooting Has Profound Effect On Dwyane Wade

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade’s best game of the season came with a tribute to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High freshman Joaquin Oliver who died in the mass shooting there two weeks ago.

Oliver was buried in a jersey bearing Dwyane Wade’s name. Wade’s sneakers in Tuesday night’s game had Oliver’s name scrawled on them.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High will reopen Wednesday, the first official day it will be in session since 17 students and teachers were killed in a Valentine’s Day massacre that only cranked up the volume on the national debate over guns.

Oliver was one of the 17 victims.
